Soldiers Lyrics

Since I was a child
I've always loved to sing
I told my teacher, it's what I'm going to be
And this road I'm on, sketchy it may be
Greens chances
To beat the odds the devil has for me

And I'm never going to miss a beat
'Cause brother, I'm a soldier
No, I'm never going to miss a beat
'Cause I got to be a soldier
And in heaven, maybe he
Is smiling down on me
And behind those doors of my heart I am crying

Epic warfare and spiritual
When out of nowhere
The black cannonballs
Today, we broke down
Caught wind of a tragedy
In the same hour
Tonight, I, I won't sing about this

'Cause I'm never going to miss a beat
'Cause brother, I'm a soldier
No, I'm never going to miss a beat
'Cause the Lord made me a soldier
And in heaven, maybe he
Is smiling down on me
But behind those doors of my heart I am crying

And in the end, the life we lead
Would it have made a difference
In a world unseen?
Oh, oh, oh, oh

So we're never going to miss a beat
'Cause brother, we are soldiers
Yeah, we're never going to miss a beat
'Cause we got to be soldiers
And in heaven, maybe he's
Smiling down on me
But behind those doors of my heart, I am crying
If I said it was easy always, I'd be lying
Today, behind those doors of my heart, I am crying
If I said it was easy, always I'd be lying
But behind the doors of my heart...
